Find a Therapist in Kamloops, British Columbia.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life. Utilizing a number of therapeutic models I hope to provide an empathetic and non-judgemental experience to explore "problems". Sessions are typically one hour and can be a safe and confidential space to share concerns, worries, fears, hopes, and needs. We will collaborate on goals for our work together. Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.

Psychotherapy can be effective and greatly beneficial for couples, individuals and families. We strive to create a safe and understanding environment where we work in a collaborative manor based on your goals and needs. We will work with a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs providing optimal results. Through psychotherapy you can begin to see yourself and your world through a non partial and neutral lens. Through the clarity and acceptance of your authentic self we will work to build your tools for ongoing personal growth and success, independent of counselling.

One of the most difficult decisions that many of us struggle with is reaching out for help. I will provide you with practical strategies in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

At Inner Tides Counselling, we use evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy. Our primary modality to psychotherapy is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, in which disturbing memories and experiences are reprocessed with bilateral stimulation (at your own comfortable pace). Inner Tides Counselling is also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), both of which are other forms of evidence-based psychotherapies. No matter which modality is the best fit for you, Inner Tides Counselling's approach is always trauma-informed, person-centered and strengths-based.

We provide an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on experiential therapeutic modalities through a neuroscience-informed, connection-focused lens. We honour the wisdom of the body in guiding the therapeutic process through an understanding of the brain-mind-body connection. We integrate bottom-up and top-down strategies to support each individual's unique nervous system and needs.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

I believe that change happens when their is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. I work hard to ensure that my clients are relaxed, comfortable and safe so that they can feel free to share openly without judgement. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client sets the pace and we work together through various therapeutic techniques (Cognitive-Behavioral, EMDR, Art, books, Family Systems) so that the client can reach the goals they set for themselves in therapy

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds.
